Oliver Speith wins West German EP Buggy regionals Rd2

The second round of the West German Electric Off-road regionals was hosted by the MC Dortmund club over the weekend. Saturday’s practice was washed away by the ever present rain with the Sunday starting out wet and cloudy but the newly-built astro turf track would soon start to dry and in time for the finals even the sun would come out. In the 2WD Buggy class, Oliver Speith would take home the winning honours, coming from the 2 spot on the grid.

Indra Liono successful at Bali Fun Race

This past weekend the Bali Fun Race was held at the popular WillSon track in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. A total of 25 drivers attended from Jakarta, Surabaya, Batam, Kendari, Medan and Bali with the race format being four rounds of ten minutes qualifying with the three best rounds to count but due to rain pouring down in time for Q4, the race director decided to count the two best rounds out of three. This would hand Jason Nugroho (Xray/Novarossi) the TQ but unfortunately for him, Jason would suffer from two flameouts in the 45-minute A-main, promoting Indra Liono (Xray/SPower) into the lead that he would convert into a win from Jason while Yoko Sumarto (SWorkz/SPower) completed the podium result.

Dutch 200mm Nitro On-road Champs Rd3 – Report

Round three of the Dutch 1/10th 200mm National Championship was held at the MAC de Baanbrekers club in Rucphen. Saturday’s weather permitted any dry track practice so most drivers used the day to prepare their rain cars and help out others. Luckily Sunday started off dry but with the previous heavy rainfall the grip level was pretty low and it had to build up over the day. Without any practice and with the changing track conditions the three qualifiers would be an interesting affair for all competitors that had to run mandatory Novarossi Sturm engines, Hipex low-noise pipes and Enneti hand-out tyres. In the National class Daan Jacobs took a close TQ, one second in front of Pedro Rombouts (Xray) and Julius Kolf (Serpent). Roy Bakker (Shepherd) would round out the top 4. In the slightly slower Nomac class, Bas Bakker lead Jos Remmerde and Arjan Versteeg for a Kyosho 1-2-3. Jurmin Etnel (Serpent) completed the top 4.
